Our remote control pages are so scattered that not even I know where to put this, but I'm putting it SOMEWHERE before I forget.

SMS text input

If you have a remote control that is viewed as a keyboard to XBMC and want to enable SMS/T9-like text input, do two things:

  1. Settings/System/Input devices -> enable "remote sends keyboard presses"
  2. make a keyboard.xml keymap file with this (save it in userdata/keymaps/):
    <keymap>
      <VirtualKeyboard>
        <keyboard>
          <zero>Number0</zero>
          <one>Number1</one>
          <two>Number2</two>
          <three>Number3</three>
          <four>Number4</four>
          <five>Number5</five>
          <six>Number6</six>
          <seven>Number7</seven>
          <eight>Number8</eight>
          <nine>Number9</nine>
          <backspace>Backspace</backspace>
        </keyboard>
      </VirtualKeyboard>
    </keymap>
